..., apart from concern over the outcome of the current talks between NL and TE, is that they get Christopher Lee back. His, I am anticipating, is going to be a crucial role in the 2nd movie (can't call it "bridge" anymore, I hear). I never has any doubts that McKellen and Serkis would be back. I think Alan Lee is pretty keen to be involved again also. Likewise, I would like to see John Howe come back -- I don't know if he's come out recently with his ideas about that, but unless he's already booked for the next 4 years I can't imagine he wouldn't. I would also like to see them re-offer to Ted Naismith the opportunity to get involved this time. -mwirkk :)
